Posted on by Atul

i have one problem,

i have one customer say cust001 we wll do invoicing to this customer (sell to this customer),now the case is this customer can also be treated as vendor means we purchase from this customer(purchase invoicing) also.

How to do that ,we create only one entity in navision(5.01) i.e either customer or vendor so that we have only one ledger for that perticular person/company.

thanks in advance

Hi,
This is a very often request from customers, but sorry it is not possible in NAV standard functionality.
The only connection between a vendor and a customer can be a contact record for managing master data only one time on the contact card, and automatic update on the customer and vendor card.So, you have to buy an addon or your NAV partner has to customize this.Regards,Rene

Has this common arrangement been addressed by NAV in the past 8 years?

Also, why is it a HORRIBLE (don't do it! according to our partner) to set up vendors as using currency USD? I tried searching, which is why I found this, but nothing regarding the absolute HORROR (again, our partner) we would experience if we set up vendors that we would actually pay in USD, as USD vendors.

Unfortunately, it is not possible in W1 version.

In some localizations, e.g. in Russian localization, there is a field "Vendor" on the Customer card, where you can select the corresponding Vendor if it is the same legal entity as Customer, so they are connected. Then you can print the total balance by them both in one report. You can opt for taking this from those localizations to your database.

Hi atul,

Try this link,

It might be useful since Standard NAV doesn't exactly solves the issue.

Oh it is nice to know that it is available in the Russian localization. Will surely look into this one as this is one requirement we always get from the customers.
